Mexico Shoe Size In Cm. Conversion Chart

You thought different length or weight units were a nightmare? No, shoe sizes – that's where the real mess is. Various footwear manufacturers measure different things: a foot, a shoe last or an inner cavity of the shoe. They not only use absolutely different scales in various countries, the scale may differ from one manufacture to another even if they seem to use the same one.

The fitting also highly depends on the width of a shoe as well as other characteristics of the model. That's why your best bet is always trying on the shoes before you buy. Never choose shoes by size without trying if it's not the same model you had before!

Mondopoint

Although not well known and not widely used this is the official international standard for shoe sizes ISO 9407:1991. It is based on the mean foot length and width measured in millimeters. This standard is used by NATO and some other military systems as it allows better fitting. Sky boots are often marked with mondopoint too. Mondopoint shoe size of 250/100 means length 250mm and width 100mm.

Foot and Last lengths

These are the lengths of foot and last (foot-shaped template for manufacturing shoes) various shoe sizes correspond to. Please note there is no official conversion between the last length and the foot length although it is commonly considered normal if the foot is 2/3 inch less then the last. So we use this conversion here.

U.S. and Canada Customary Shoe Size

There are different systems of shoe sizes that are used in the United States at the same time. A customary traditional system is based on the English sizes but starts at one instead of zero so U.S. sizes are one greater than British. This system is based on the length of the shoe last (foot-shaped template for manufacturing shoes). Measuring the last instead of a foot is easier for shoe manufactures but makes it harded for the consumers. The inner cavity of the shoe must usually be 2/3 inch longer than the foot length. In this converter we add 2/3 inch when converting from last-based to foot-based sizes. There is also a less popular Footwear industries of America (FIA) scale also known as "standard". It measures female sizes slightly different.

Russia and CIS (ex-USSR countries) Shoe Size

The official standards GOST 23251-83, GOST 11373-88 declare the shoe size to be measured by the length of a foot expressed in millimeters. However in practice shoes are marked either with traditional system based on a foot length expressed in Paris points or with foot length measured in centimeters. The scale is the same for both genders and for adults and children.

United Kingdom and Ireland Shoe Size

The UK scale is based on the length of the last measured in barleycorns starting with zero for the smallest practical size. The scale is not formally standardized. The child's size 0 has a length of a hand, the biggest child's size is 13.5. The adult size 1 is one barleycorn longer than the biggest child's size. The scale is the same for male and female. Please note though some shoe manufactures in the UK use slightly different scales. For example a shoe of UK size 6 made be Jimmy Choo might be the same size with a shoe of size 7.5 made by Crocs.

Does convert-me.com really exist since 1996? In fact it's even older. We launched the first version of our online units converter in 1995. There was no JavaScript there and all conversions had to be done on server. The service was slow. A year later the technology allowed us to create an instant units conversion service that became the prototype of what you see now.

To conserve space on the page some units block may display collapsed. Tap any unit block header to expand/collapse it.

Does the page look too crowded with so many units? You can hide the blocks you don't need by clicking on the block headline. Try it. Clicking again will expand the block.

Our goal is to make units conversion as easy as possible. Got ideas how to make it better? Let us know

Please noteThis converter can give you shoe sizes that no manufacturer produces, e.g. too small or too big. The fact the shoe size can be calculated does not necessarily mean you could buy shoes of this size.
